THAT'S WHEN THE CALL CAME IN REPORTING A ROBBERY IN PROGRESS. THE ALERT CUSTOMER FLAGGED DOWN THE POLICE OFFICER ON THE WEST SIDE OF MANCHESTER TO TELL HIM CROSS TOWN MARKET WAS BEING ROBBED. THE OFFICER WAS THERE SO FAST, WE COULD SEE THE CRIME HAPPENING. I WAS ABLE TO LOOK INSIDE, SEE THE ROBBER WAS GOING ON, AND HE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION TO WAIT OUTSIDE. PEOPLE LIVING NEARBY CAME OUT TO SNAP PICTURES OF THE ARREST AND THANK THE OFFICERS. BECAUSE THEY'VE SEEN THIS HAPPEN ALL TOO OFTEN. THE THIRD AND FOURTH TIME IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. BUT IT IS JUST NICE NOW THAT THEY RESPONDED SO QUICKLY AND THAT THEY CAUGHT THEM THIS TIME. LESS THAN AN HOUR LATER, BUSINESS OWNERS WERE INSIDE THE MANCHESTER POLICE DEPARTMENT.
